Junky Styling on The Apprentice

I volunteered in the sewing room at Junky Styling (based at the Truman Brewery off Brick Lane) a few years ago. Their designs are high end fashion using recycled materials. Junky Styling consists of a small lovely team who are extremely creative and talented. They were on The Apprentice which I love watching so have to share the youtube link!

Virginia Graham

I adored Virginia's ceramics at the Tea Potty? exhibition at the SDC Gallery on Rivington Street last September.

Unfortunately the gallery is currently closed but I'm hoping it will re-open soon... Virginia Graham exhibited at Origin in September this year and seeing an image in the Guardian recently, I was reminded how just looking at her work is pure eye candy. I find them beautiful and quirky and love that she incorporates found objects. I never tire of the above images!

Winter Contemporary Textiles 2010

I'll be taking part in the above exhibition at the New Ashgate Gallery from 19th November to 22nd January - in Farnham, Surrey. Exhibited and available for sale will be a selection from my Izniks Abroad collection.

Preview - Thursday

Hello, I've been very busy making bags for the forthcoming exhibition this weekend at the Candid Arts Centre in Islington. I'll be exhibiting and selling a new recycled collection, new digital designs and screen printed bags (images to follow soon!).

Craftivism and Embroidery

I'm looking forward to meeting the Craftivist Collective members on Thursday. I've been meaning to go for a while and couldn't resist a talk at the Fine Cell Works HQ ("social enterprise that teaches needlework to prison inmates and sells their products").

Meanwhile I'm getting fabric printed and cutting up my screen printed fabrics. While delving into the depths of my donated recycled pile I unearthed a box of vintage stitched/embroidered fabrics so I'm very excited about creating my new recycled bags...
